An advertisement for Blake Lively's upcoming film Another Simple Favor was flooded with snarky remarks aimed at the actress amid the massive drama and litigation she's immersed in against her It Ends with Us costar-director Justin Baldoni. Prime Video on Tuesday released a promotional poster for the comedic thriller, which Lively, 37, stars in alongside Anna Kendrick, 38, in a sequel to their 2018 film A Simple Flavor.

'We have Another Simple Favor to ask you… can you save the date?' the streaming service said in a caption. 'Opening Night at SXSW. May 1 on Prime Video.'. The post was put up to hearken the news the motion picture, directed by Paul Feig  and written by Jessica Sharzer, will be kicking off next month's SXSW Film and TV Festival in Austin, Texas. People flooded with the post (and an adjacent one from Feig) with comments referring to allegations made by Baldoni in court filings and an adjacent website.

Some commenters made reference to allegations Baldoni made in court filings that Lively and her husband Ryan Reynolds, 48, strong-armed him into letting her drastically change It Ends with Us's screenplay and editing, even enlisting Taylor Swift to lean on Baldoni at one point.

Prime Video on Tuesday released a promotional poster for the comedic thriller, which Lively, 37, stars in alongside Anna Kendrick , 38, in a sequel to their 2018 film A Simple Flavor - and the feedback was fast and furious. 'Did Ryan rewrite a scene?' one user asked, another wisecracked, 'Is the poster promoting Ryan's gin as well?' while another person asked, 'Is this the real version or did Blake edit it?'.

One commenter referenced on Feig's post an allegation Baldoni made in court filings that Lively arranged for his presence to be minimized at the It Ends with Us premiere. 'Be careful you might end up in the basement in the premiere,' a user said. One user asked, 'Why is Blake's name higher than Anna's?' while another asked, 'Did Blake refuse to work unless her name was slightly higher than Anna's?'. One user asked, 'Is Blake going to sue Anna for harassment too?' while another said, 'If we like Anna more. Blake will sue Anna saying this is another smear campaign?'.

Another user joked, 'I'm surprised Anna's name is still on the marketing poster lol' while one user noted the placement of the respective names of the film's stars, saying, 'Blake’s name had to be printed higher than Anna’s…'. A number of people said they were put off by Lively in general and uninterested in her next project or adjacent promotional tour, in light of Baldoni's accusations. 'Yikes another Blake Lively press tour,' one user said, while another said, 'More Blake Lively everywhere. Great.'.

Lively faced the wrath of Instagram in a number of comments made on the promotional post. One user opined, 'I don't feel like watching anything with Blake Lively on unless she produces any kind of evidence corroborating her story in court. Right now, things look very bad for her.'. Said one user, 'We are not watching this movie BLAKE. After what you did to an innocent man, Justin.'. In regard to allegations that Reynolds wrote a character named Nicepool into the Deadpool 2 film, intended to parody and humiliate Baldoni, a user asked, 'Will Ryan be making fun of Anna is his next film as well?'.

Others referenced a text Lively sent likening Reynolds and Swift to Game of Thrones dragons, with one person writing, 'How involved are Blake’s dragons on this one?' while another said, 'Will there be dragons?'. Some acknowledged they were just commenting amid the spectacle of the situation, as one user said they 'came straight to the comments' amid the controversies, while another asked, 'Who came for just the comments?'.

Another person remarked, 'This is the worst timing for this promotion lmfao,' while one predicted, 'They will be turning off the comments soon.'. Lively has accused Baldoni of sexual harassment, while he has fired back with a $400 million lawsuit against Lively, Reynolds and her publicist Leslie Sloane claiming defamation and extortion. Baldoni, who has shared his communications with Lively over the film on a newly-released website, says the trio concocted 'false accusations of sexual harassment' against him.
